Zhang Wuji had to admire Zhou Zhiruo's wisdom.
Why could she guess what was in my mind just by letting out a glance from me inadvertently?
Is it really true that one's appearance is determined by one's mind?
Zhang Wuji sorted out his thoughts, put away the mentality of wanting but not getting that he had last night, and said: "In the next few days, at least in the next one or two days, I really don't need you two."
"You sisters have suffered a lot following me. We have hardly had a good day, especially in the last few months."
"You guys just take a good rest."
"Yesterday, the generals and I discussed and reached a conclusion."
"That is, no matter what, we cannot let Zhao Min appear in front of us openly."
"Things have come to this. Although we cannot change those unchangeable disadvantages, at the very least, we cannot let Zhao Min have it too easy."
"Starting today, General Wei and General Yin will once again lead their troops to harass Zhao Min continuously."
"Although it won't have much effect, it can consume some of her troops along the way and turn her army into a tired one."
After hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo nodded and said, "There is some truth to that, but you should also warn your generals in advance not to be bitten by Zhao Min accidentally. Otherwise, with Zhao Min's ability, she will be able to easily eat up your troops that are harassing her."
…
It was almost noon that day when Zhao Min gave the order to continue the march.
She changed into a brand new bright red dress.
Today, Zhao Min did not choose to ride a horse because she had an injury on her leg, so she and Li Yao, Xiao Yu and Xiao sat in a carriage together.
But just when Zhao Min was drinking wine and enjoying life in the carriage, Wang Baobao came to report to her: "Your Majesty, there are a small number of Ming army cavalry twenty miles away."
Zhao Min sneered: "Damn Zhang Wuji, will he ever stop?"
"How many people are here?"
Wang Baobao replied: "About two to three thousand people, about the same scale as the night before."
After thinking for a while, Zhao Min replied: "Find someone to lead 5,000 cavalry to meet them. Don't delay the army's advance. Just repel them. There is no need to pursue them further."
Wang Baobao took the order and left.
An hour later, Wang Baobao came to Zhao Min's carriage again and said, "Your Majesty, the previous team of Ming cavalry was defeated by us, but now another team of soldiers has arrived."
Zhao Min laughed disdainfully: "It's quite interesting, a round-robin battle. Zhang Wuji must be planning something. Has he sent troops to meet them?"
Wang Baobao quickly said, "Go meet him."
"However, our spies also discovered a new situation."
Zhao Min asked: "What's going on?"
Wang Baobao quickly replied: "Zhang Wuji's army has already left Longcheng, and is now only more than a hundred miles away from us."
Zhao Min smiled and said, "Zhang Wuji did not choose to defend the city, which shows that he is not too stupid."
"Otherwise, my army of more than one hundred thousand can not only surround and kill him, but also surround and attack the reinforcements. I can also get rid of Yang Xiao's troops at the same time."
Wang Baobao said: "Zhang Wuji's troops are not as many as ours. Since he has given up the defense, we should be able to crush him with our current strength."
After thinking for a while, Zhao Min asked, "Where are Yang Xiao's troops now?"
Wang Baobao quickly replied: "According to their current speed, it will probably take about five days to reach Longcheng."
"Five days!" Zhao Min laughed and said, "After five days, even if he comes, the soldiers under his command will be exhausted and will probably no longer have any fighting power."
"Pass the order down. Three days later, we will have a decisive battle with Zhang Wuji. Tell the soldiers to be alert. If they encounter harassing Ming army cavalry again, you should still let our cavalry fight back, but don't chase them too far, be careful of ambushes."
Wang Baobao quickly took the order and left.
In the carriage, Zhao Min continued to drink. Perhaps she felt bored, so she suddenly said to Li Yao: "Talk to me, anything is fine. If you talk, I won't think about those troublesome things."
Li Yao glanced at Xiao Yuxiao who was sleeping soundly, thought for a moment, and asked Zhao Min: "Is the world really that important?"
Zhao Min smiled and said, "I asked you to talk to me, but you kept talking about topics that gave me a headache. But since you asked, I will tell you what's in my heart. The world is really important. My Yuan Empire once owned the four seas."
"Who doesn't love this beautiful world? How can such a beautiful country be described by the word 'nostalgia'?"
"It's a pity that the Mongols are not Han people. More than a hundred years ago, we seized the Han people's territory. According to normal logic, in more than a hundred years, the Mongols and the Han people should have been integrated. Unfortunately, the Mongols have always felt that they are superior to others. Even I am no exception to this."
"For more than a hundred years, the Mongols seized and oppressed the Han people by trickery and plunder. In fact, even so, they were able to maintain their rule."
"The main reason why our Yuan Dynasty ended up like this was due to the stupidity and incompetence of the emperors of all dynasties."
"I am only in my twenties this year. If I can regain control of the world, I will try my best to integrate the Mongolians and the Han people. Only in this way can it last long."
Li Yao said: "I'm afraid it's difficult. Although I don't understand military affairs, let alone the politics in the court, but I can see that Zhang Wuji can afford to lose at this moment. Even if Zhang Wuji suffers a defeat at your hands, he may still make a comeback, but if you lose, you really lose."
Zhao Min gave Li Yao a cold look, and Li Yao tactfully shut his mouth.
Zhao Min said, "Girl, why are you saying these things to me today?"
Li Yao: "I, I just said it casually."
Zhao Min sneered: "I am nice to you, but I don't expect you to be completely loyal to me, but you have to at least tell me the truth. I asked you to chat with me, and it was you who brought up this topic. Now you want to shut up before you say what's in your heart. No way."
"Just say whatever you want to say to me, I won't punish you."
Li Yao looked at Zhao Min cautiously, and then said: "Your Majesty, you are good to me. I am just a small person. Whoever is good to me, I will be good to her in the same way, and even more so to you."
"So, I want you to think about the future. After all, you are only in your twenties this year. You know better than anyone what the Yuan court has done in the past hundred years. Once the people's hearts are lost, it is difficult to recover. Therefore, the Yuan court can be defeated, but you cannot die."
"When times are good, no matter how things turn out, you have to find a way to survive."
